The University of Cambridge has been awarded a £3 million grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for research into molecular and polymeric semiconductors.
The research project will focus on the chemistry and physics of organic semiconductors. Professors Richard Friend and Henning Sirringhaus, and Doctors Neil Greenham and Ji-Seon Kim from the Department of Physics will be working with Dr Wilhelm Huck from the Department of Chemistry. The project will have applications in materials, materials processing (using techniques such as ink-jet printing), and investigation of semiconductor optical and electronic properties.
The EPSRC is also providing financial support for the project for Dr Charlotte Williams at Imperial College, who will carry out a programme of materials synthesis.
